Diabetes prevention refers to the strategies and interventions used to stop or delay the onset of diabetes, most often type 2 diabetes, in people who are at elevated risk. Because type 2 diabetes develops gradually and is closely tied to body weight, diet, physical activity, and blood-glucose regulation, prevention centers on identifying people with prediabetes or other risk markers and intervening before the disease becomes established. Common approaches include structured lifestyle programs that promote regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, and weight management, alongside screening that helps clinicians spot rising glucose levels early. Increasingly, data-driven tools such as risk-prediction models are also being explored to flag individuals who would benefit most from early intervention. Within the International Journal of Nutrition, diabetes prevention sits naturally alongside the journal's broader focus on diet, metabolism, and chronic-disease risk. Reported work in this area has examined what primary-care patients with prediabetes need from technology-enhanced lifestyle interventions, helping define the practical building blocks of effective prevention programs. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to diabetes prevention, including its lifestyle, nutritional, and screening dimensions.
